NEEDLESS CHOLERA SCARE.
The Danger of the Plague Being Scat
 tered Through the Land.

tered Through the Land.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-A sensatjonal cholera article appeared in a paper last even ing announcing that the steamer Independ- ent, which touched at the cholera-infected port of Palermo, Italy, had been scattered broadcast through this country. Six of these passengers it said had gone to Boston and two to Providence. Quite a commo- ton has been caused st the points of desti- nation of some of the immigrants. In Chicago and Baltimore the passengers are being looked up and their clothing and bag gage are being disinfected. Quarantine Commissioner Nichols said to-day: The In dependente touched at Palermo on Septem- Der 24 and arrived in this port October 15, thus making the voyage in twenty-one days. During that time there had been no sickness or deaths. The ship itself was in a perfectly healthy condition and the health of the passengers unexceptionable. The passengers were of the better class of Italians and their unusual cleanliness elicited my admiration. No suspicion of any kind attached to the ship; if there had been any cholera it would have manifested itself within the three weeks of the voyage" The baggage was also fumi gated according to the commission. The Britannia WAS un- clean and there was sickness among the passengers and the vessel was quaran- ined "There is no necessity of a scare," continued the commissioner, of 'teholera reaching the country through this port"
 An official of the Italian General Naviga- ton company,to which the Independents be- longs, stated that it had had but one ship, the Independence, engaged in the transporta- tion of passengers to this county since the cholera excitement of last year. Extraordi- nary precautions had been taken to preserve the health of the passengers. He thought there was no fear of cholera from passengers on the Independence,

Settled by the Men Returning Uncon-
 dftIOnaIIY.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The advertisements of the Typotheta in various newspapers in this country calling for compositors, press men and feeders, were withdrawn to-day. The employers fael that the strike IS over, so far as they are concerned. Yesterday there were two concessions to the employ CTS by the men. In the morning the compostors and pressmen of Theodore L. DeVinne 6 Go. rs- turned to work internationally. At noon J. J. Little & Co., $ men also returned to the office and went to work as before. Last week one of Little & Co.'s employees told report CT that the men had decided to return to work immediately after getting their next payment from the strike fund. About Il o'clock Theodore 0. Wildman, secretary of the Typographical union, went to Pythagoras Hall and paid them. They then deserted the union and went back to work. A num- Der of them were not taken back at all, be- cause their places had been filed by non union men. All the offices are filled with men now except two or three, where few skilled workmen required. Eighty men are all that are needed to put the employers in the same condition that they were before the strike began.

DEyOURED BY FLORIDA SHARKS. A Mail Carriers Horrible Death
 SkruooIe with rhe Man Eaters.

Struggle With the Man Eaters.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 27.-James E. Hamilton, the mail carrier between Miama and Lake Worth, on the South Atlantic coast, was devoured by man eaters at Hills boro Inlet Tuesday. He was stout, athletic youg man and carried the mail between the two places, distance of seventy five miles, on his back, walking on the beach most of the way The inlet is a dangerous crossing, the back waters of the. Everglades meeting the tides and producing heavy and danger ous seas Sharks of the most ravenous kind abound there. An old fisherman, who WAS
 within half mile of Hamilton when he be- gan crossing, describes the tragedy as hor-
 rible occurrence. When Hamilton reached the middle of the inlet the sharks foeked about his boat, lesping ten feet or more out of the water in their eagerness to get at human flesh. Hamil- ton fought them with his oars, but soon both were bitten off and dashed out of his hands. Then they assailed the boat,
 tearing huge pieces of the gunwale. Soon it began to sink and Hamilton became stupehed | with fear Another blow on the frail boat snd he was thrawn headlong inso the masses of fierce sea wolves. One shriek of agony l and all was over. The sea was dyed for yards around with his life blood. Scare hing | parties were sent out, but nothing was found. Hamilton's death was such @ horrible one | that no mail carrier over that route has yet been secured.

As He is Not Conscious of Having Done

ELmRA, N. Y, Oct. 27.-Dr. McGlynn lectured here this evening on the land tax question and in support of the United Labor State ticket. A dispatch from Pittsburg which stated that Rev. Father Brennan of Newark, N. J., had said that Dr. McGlynn was about to ask for forgiveness of the church and reinstatement was shown to the doctor, who said: ''The dispatch is most absurd and untrue from beginning to end. The Father Brennan alleged to have made the statement is described as pastor of one of the principal Roman Catholic churches of New ark, but do not believe there is any such man. Rev. Dr. Burtsell of New York and Bishop Moore of Florida were never students in the American college in Rome stated, and DO man named Brennan classmate of theirs or mine either in the Propaganda or the American college. The story is false that Brennan and others named or anyone met me and that expressed repentance. How could I repent when I am not conscious of having done that which calls for repentance"

 CHICAGO, Oct. 27-"Ohi have grown al A. Parsons to ex-Justice Barker, who talked with the condemned man this morning. stHope and fear have almost worn them selves out and I have become callous." "So have I, murmured Mrs. Parsons, who was by his side. ''The capitalists and their courts demanded blood and they will no doubt have it November Il. The workingmen and their friends will demand blood for blood and they will no doubt have it after wards" continued Parsons. "Blood for blood" whispered Mrs. Parsons. 'tWhat hope is there from a United States Supreme court that sends for State officers and con- suits with them to the question of juris- dictiona That is what our Supreme court has done in this case. Did it ever do so in any other easel The judges with their sol em mummery are put there to decide ques- tions for themselves.

 Arguments Before the Supreme Court.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-At 1:05 o'clock this afternoon Chief Justice Waite announ- ced that the court was ready to take up the Anarchists cases. At once there was hush in the court room and amid moment of al- most breathless silence General Butler arose and stated his connection with the case; that he represented two of the condemned An archists and that his colleague, John Ran dolph Tucker, was ready to open the argu ment in behalf of the petitioners. Then moments consultation about the time to be accorded counsel. Attorney Gen eral Hunt of Illinois said that not knowing the scope opposing eounsel's argument might take he could not say how much time the States counsel would require to answer. The court decided the matter by allowing each side three hours, and without further delay MT. Tucker arose and began his argument, directing his efforts to the question of juris- diction raised by the appeal for the writ of error. He did not propose to go over the whole record of this case and show the grounds for reversal of the judgment of the Illinois court, but to show that this was case within the jurisdiction of the United States court which justified the issuance of the writ. MT. Tucker finished speaking at o:35 and was followed by Attorney General Hunt in behalf of the State of Illinois. Gen. eral Butler will speak tomorrow.
